We have so much in the pipeline now, why not join the social committee soon and volunteer your ideas and help organise our social events? We have a great time at our meetings, they are informal and fun and we ask you to choose the venues! if you don't want to be on the committee you can just join us before or after our meetings to socialise. We don't have any rules…do we?!

Friday Night Races and Social Evening, BYO everything, lots of great Mainpeak prizes, Swan Canoe Club, from 6pm.

Point Walter cafe Saturday mornings – after your paddle, meet your friends and catch up on what's new. Meet up from 10am-ish, very much a pot-luck event, great for new members.

That's it for now, Jen is busy getting the winery paddle on 16th October arranged, watch this space!
